Grapevine virus A variants of group II associated with Shiraz disease in South Africa are present in plants affected by Australian Shiraz disease,and have also been detected in the USA

Primers were designed for RT‐nested PCR amplification of the highly variable 293‐nt fragment from the 5′ terminal part of the Grapevine virus A (GVA) replicase gene, specific to South African variants of molecular groups I and II. This new technique, along with RT‐PCR for simultaneous amplification of variants of groups I, II and III, as well as cloning of amplicons, single‐strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of clones and sequencing, were used to investigate the populations of variants infecting 16 local Shiraz grapevines with different Shiraz disease (SD) status. The techniques were also used to study variants in GVA‐infected grapevines from Australia and the USA. The Australian grapevines included seven plants of cvs Shiraz and Merlot affected by Australian Shiraz disease (AuSD), and one plant of cv. Crimson Seedless with unknown AuSD status. Grapevines from the USA included plants of cvs Chardonnay, Thompson Seedless and an unknown cultivar. The results confirmed the association of certain genetic variants of group II with SD and showed the common presence of these variants in AuSD‐affected grapevines from Australia. Interestingly, a variant of this group was also detected in grapevine cv. Chardonnay from the USA, although the disease has not yet been reported from that country. The study also supports an earlier observation that members of group II, closely related to variant GTR1‐2, are not associated with the disease. The variants were found only in SD‐free grapevines. Results show that variants of the most divergent group III, which are common in South Africa, are also present in Australia and the USA. These variants are not associated with SD, but frequently occur in mixed infections with members of group II in plants affected by this disease in South Africa.     

利用小RNA深度测序技术鉴定上海地区‘红美人’柑橘病毒种类

为明确上海地区‘红美人’柑橘的病毒种类, 2020年4月在崇明、金山、奉贤、嘉定、闵行和浦东采集疑似病毒感染的叶片样品11份, 采用小RNA深度测序技术结合RT-PCR对不同来源的混合样品进行病毒种类鉴定。结果表明, 样品中含有柑橘衰退病毒Citrus tristeza virus (CTV)、柑橘黄化脉明病毒Citrus yellow vein clearing virus(CYVCV)、柑橘树皮裂纹类病毒Citrus bark cracking viroid(CBCVd)和柑橘类病毒Ⅴ Citrus viroid V(CVd-Ⅴ)。同时发现, 上海地区‘红美人’柑橘病毒复合侵染现象普遍。基于CTV和CYVCV的CP全长基因及CBCVd和CVd-Ⅴ全基因组序列系统进化分析结果表明:除了CYVCV的分离物与地理来源具有明显的相关性外, 其余病毒及类病毒均没有严格的地域相关性。研究结果为开展‘红美人’柑橘种苗病毒检测及病毒病的防治奠定基础。     

小RNA深度测序鉴定昭通市烟草脉斑病病毒

烟草脉斑病在云南昭通市的烟草上发生危害严重,为明确昭通市烟草脉斑病的病毒种类,本研究采集昭通市的4个烟草种植区症状表现为疑似烟草脉斑病的烟草样品,采用小RNA深度测序技术对不同来源的混合样品进行小RNA测序分析。结果显示混合样品中的病毒分别属于烟草花叶病毒属Tobamovirus、马铃薯Y病毒属Potyvirus和马铃薯卷叶病毒属Polerovirus。根据不同病毒属设计通用引物,分别对不同地区的烟草样品进行RT-PCR验证,结果表明,烟草样品中病毒种类有烟草花叶病毒、烟草脉带花叶病毒、烟草脉扭病毒和马铃薯Y病毒的PVYN、PVYN-Wi和PVYNTN株系。     

Shoot meristem tissue of tobacco inoculated with Cucumber mosaic virus is infected with the virus and subsequently recovers from infection by RNA silencing

Distribution of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in shoot meristem tissue of CMV-inoculated tobacco was successively analyzed with immunohistochemical microscopy and in situ hybridization. CMV signals were detected in the tissue at 7 days postinoculation (dpi), but then they decreased and disappeared after 14dpi. Detailed observation confirmed CMV invasion of shoot apical meristem at 6–8dpi. Short interfering RNA corresponding to CMV RNAs was first detected at 7dpi and was detected up to 24dpi. These results suggest that the shoot meristem tissue is infected with CMV but subsequently recovers from the infection by RNA silencing.     

Identification and properties of a deviant isolate of the broad bean yellow band serotype of pea early-browning virus from faba bean (Vicia faba) in Algeria

A virus, isolated from faba bean (Vicia faba) obtained from Algeria, was readily recognized as a tobravirus by its particle sizes and morphology. Pea (Pisum sativum) and French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) characteristically reacted to the isolate like pea early-browning virus (PEBV), but faba bean,Antirrhinum majus, Nicotiana rustica, andN. tabacum reacted with line-pattern symptoms which were unusually brilliant on theNicotiana species. In electronmicroscope decoration tests, the isolate did not react with an antiserum to the Dutch type strain of PEBV, but with one to the broad bean yellow band (BBYB) serotype from Italy. It resembles this serotype in reaction on faba bean, but seems to differ appreciably onN. rustica, N. tabacum, andPetunia hybrida. It is described as a deviant isolate of the BBYB serotype of PEBV.All thirteen faba-bean genotypes tested were found to be susceptible to the Algerian isolate and two Dutch type strain isolates of the virus, and to react with erratic line-pattern symptoms to the Algerian isolate only. All ten genotypes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) tested reacted hypersensitively, and four out of ten genotypes of lentil (Lens culinaris) were susceptible to the virus but reacted differentially to the three isolates. Seed transmission of PEBV, including the new isolate, in faba bean is confirmed (9% for the Algerian isolate, and over 45% for one of the Dutch type strain isolates), and seed transmission of the virus in a non-legume (N. rustica, 4%) is herewith first reported. This is the first report on the occurrence of the BBYB serotype of PEBV outside Italy, and of PEBV outside Morocco in North Africa.
